    33 Pictures of London Pride and Queer Joy

    London Celebrates 50 Years of Pride

    London Pride 2022

    This summer London celebrated the 50 year anniversary of the city's first Pride. On July 1st, 1972, the LGBTQ+ community first took the famous city’s streets enmass. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have flocked to the city each summer to embrace identity, diversity, freedom and love. The 50th celebration drew 1.5 million people, making it the largest Pride in British history. With a parade of over 30,000 people, five stages of over-the-top performances and a city full of events highlighting the achievements, talents and resilience of the queer community.

    Haven Thorn, spokesperson for Pride in London said, “The LGBT+ community in the UK has come so far in the past 50 years, and this line up was a great way to collectively celebrate our journey and where we are today. We are so grateful to all of these artists, LGBT+ icons and allies who helped make July 2nd a momentous Pride to remember.”

    Below we share some of our favorite memories.
